When this REST call is made with curl, the application archive specified as @/tmp/basicwebapp.war is uploaded as a binary file using the form field deployment and the configuration information supplied in the model form parameter used to define and perform the deployment.

The response returned from the REST call contains a payload with the result of the operation that was performed.

Further information about the deployment resource can be obtained using a further REST call, which provides links to operations that can be performed on the application, URLs to access the application, context-paths for registered servlets, runtime data and other useful information.
